Trump's campaign — controversial from its start — hit a new low on Saturday after the Washington Post unearthed tapes of the Republican candidate from 2005 boasting about how he could kiss and grope women without their consent.

The businessman apologized for the comments he made and described them as "locker room talk" — a defence that even athletes, including LeBron James, have come out to bash.

And just a day before Buckingham's motion passed, The New York Times published a report about two women who allege they were groped by the Republican candidate. Trump denied the claims.

The phony story in the failing @nytimes is a TOTAL FABRICATION. Written by same people as last discredited story on women. WATCH!
